National Geographic Kids Magazine

We were recently at parent-teacher conferences at my children's school when my son's teacher commented on how remarkable it is that we've taught him all these great animal and geography facts that he shares all the time in class.  She then mentioned asking him how he knew all this trivia and my son told her "from reading National Geographic with my dad."  We have an annual subscription to National Geographic KIDS Magazine and when a new issue arrives in the mail my 6 year old son is always quick to grab it and spend hours flipping through it enjoying the activities, pictures, trivia, and the special extra things they often include like posters or collectible trading cards.  After he's spent some time perusing the magazine, I'll read the more in-depth articles to him and his sister that are still a bit beyond their independent reading level.

The December issue of National Geographic KIDS Magazine included a Funny Fill-In activity page with a "Fast and Flurry-ous" snow theme, 30 Cool Things About Reptiles trivia page, Awesome Animals trading cards, photos of a squirrel snowball fight, and a survey of America's favorite holiday kids' television shows and movies, among other things. The magazine also lets its readers contribute its content with an Art Zone that lets kids send in drawings to be included in the magazine, My Shot section that displays submitted photographs, and Tell Us What You Think which allows children to answer surveys that are used for special segments in future editions of National Geographic KIDS Magazine.

National Geographic KIDS' December issue also included  an overview of 5 smart toys that provide both an entertaining and educational play experience, a story about three orphaned black bear cubs that are being reintroduced to the wild, a profile of Turkey's "Ice" Castle, and the issue's feature article about Snow Leopards. My kids were really awed by the great photos of these big cats from Central Asia that were included in the magazine.
